1C Quidditch Day

Lesson: Physical education

Class: Year 1 - 1C Year: 2021 - 2022

Wow what another fantastic day at Townfield!
Today we had a team of quidditch coaches come to our school. We started off the day with an assembly where we were each allocated a number from 1-4. The magical sorting hat began to speak and it sorted us all into 4 different house teams; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Yes! Just like Harry Potter! The coaches taught us about the game; how to play, how to score, attack and defend and then took us out to practise some of the skills needed to actually play the game. Here we were introduced to the different types of balls and what they were for (Quaffle, Bludger and Golden Snitch), the different positions and the different types of players (Chasers, Beaters, Keepers and Seekers). THEN...... we played! It was so much fun! At the end of the game, our teachers had to wear a belt with golden ribbons on it - they were the golden snitches! We had to chase the golden snitch around the pitch and try to steal the ribbons. The teachers were pretty competitive haha. At the end of the day, the whole school went back down to the field to watch the final match and cheer the teams on. The coaches kept the scores of all of our games and we had a celebration assembly at the end of the day. This was where we found out which house won over all but other awards were also given out; best beater of the day, best chaser of the day, best keeper of the day and best golden snitch of the day.
